Shaheed & DJ Supreme "Right Now"

Communicating Vessels recording artists Shaheed & DJ Supreme are on a constant rise to stardom within the contemporary music scene. Known as one of hip-hop’s most consistent groups, Shaheed and DJ Supreme don’t exactly fit the mold of most typical dirty-southern rap artists—they are what we would call practitioners of traditional and classic hip-hop elements. With the release of two critically acclaimed Lps, Health Wealth & Knowledge of Self and Scholar Warrior (a remix album), Shaheed’s sharp lyrical dexterity is showcased as DJ Supreme’s soul-infused production looms in the background. The albums also include guest appearances from artists such as Akil of Jurassic 5, Amir Sulaiman, and W. Ellington Felton.

As a group, Shaheed & DJ Supreme have shared the stage with many artists on the hip-hop scene including Raekwon, DJ Shiftee, The Bodega Brovas and Stalley, as well as label mates, The Green Seed. The much anticipated third LP Knowledge, Rhythm, and Understanding is set to be released early next year on Communicating Vessels. In the meantime, Shaheed & DJ Supreme are lighting up the streets of Birmingham, making appearances throughout local hip-hop clubs. Their newest release “Right Now” foreshadows what’s to come on the album Knowledge, Rhythm, and Understanding, and the clip promotes the inspirational sounds of all that Shaheed & DJ Supreme encompass.

Set in the now famous The Bottletree in Alabama, an astounding club where artists collide, “Right Now” constitutes the ever-prominent necessity of Shaheed & DJ Supreme’s music.
